Default Clunking from rear

New Turbo S with 900 miles on the clock. Driving the car today I noticed an intermittent metallic clunk coming from the rear left of the car. Initially thought it was in the cabin but having checked as much as I can it seems to be coming from under the rear parcel shelf.

Car is going back for a small defect in a weeks time so will get it checked then but in the meantime does any have any ideas?

When does it happen? Over bumps, changing gears, turning?

Maybe the dealership forgot to remove a shipping block:

Guessing it needs to be on a ramp to see if a shipping block is still in?

Does it happen when u turn full axis left or right? (no speed bumps)

If it does, my service advisor said it's normal. He said it's related to the 4WD system where the rear wheels are turning at a lesser degree than the forward wheels.

I've had mine happen and is still happening now since the day I got it.

Ended up being a stone stuck in the rear shock spring. Hope this isn't going to be a common occurrence as I have half a mile of gravel drive to my house.....
